Savanah Nicole McCullough
March 21, 1993 – May 26, 2025

We lost our dear, beautiful “Savy” much too soon at the age of 32. She was a wildflower that grew by the river, blossomed in the sunshine and walked the mountain roads. She was a self-proclaimed Indian Tracker with a way of looking at life that was powerfully unique, rugged and full of soul. She was spiritual and loved God in her own special way.

Savanah was born in Eureka on March 21st, 1993. She was raised in Salyer, attending Trinity Valley Elementary school until 6th grade, when she moved to Redding. In Jr. High she enjoyed playing basketball and was known for toughness, fouling out of every game. Savanah loved and appreciated art and music and was herself very artistic. One of her accomplishments was completing her High School Graduation later in life.

Her life was not easy. God’s perfect child, she was brilliant, beautiful and active. She was struck with epilepsy at the ripe age of just eight years old. Her life would become a battle that was fraught with pain and suffering. As she would often say, “it is what it is.” She also had many life adventures that were rare and exciting in ways we can’t even imagine. She was loved, cared for and continually supported by her parents, family and close friends.

What we remember is her distinctive sense of humor, independence, creative style and resilient outlook. We will miss her quips, her stories and her individualism. Her wry smile, silly chuckle and bold comments will stay with us. Savanah will be in our hearts forevermore and loved eternally. She is in Heaven now, without struggles or pain, complete, whole and perfect with God and family gone before.

Savanah is survived by her parents Troy McCullough & Brenda Grant and Stefani & Todd Clark. Her siblings Lily & Art Mastel, Jedidiah McCullough and Olivia McCullough and step brothers Dylan Clark and Ty Clark. Her Grandpa Stephen Wahl, aunts and uncles Penny and Harv Grant, Nicole McCullough and Erick Ammon, Macky and Dena McCullough, Michael Hyatt and Michele Ray, and her many cousins, her nieces Tayler Davaris and Elizabeth McCullough.

A service will be held for Savanah at the Salyer Wayside Chapel, conducted by Toni Burchard at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 21. In lieu of flowers, any donations can be made to Mountain of Mercy Rehabilitation Center, 50525 Mattole Rd.., Honeydew, CA 95542 or the Salyer Wayside Chapel.
